Intel's stock dropped 5% from $65.18 to $62, ending a nine-session winning streak that saw a 28% rise in a week. The pullback is driven by profit-taking after valuations stretched high, with a forward P/E of 122x despite negative earnings. Positive factors include strong AI and data center revenue and progress in manufacturing technology, but challenges remain with supply constraints and losses in the foundry segment.

Investors await Intel's earnings report on April 23 to see if optimism holds or if the stock faces further pressure.
